Thursday night I went to bed anticipating my friend Naomi’s baby’s impending birth – we were all guessing about the baby’s size, weight, name – all those things we do at times like these. I awoke on Friday to the news that her daughter, Lillian, had been born still.
This, of course, brought back all the memories! Oh, if I could only spare another mother from those feelings!! And, I have such guilt that I had 9 mos of Joshie to hold and cuddle – Naomi never got that with Lillian!
But the Lord is good. I’m confident that these babies are better off where they are now.
Going to keep this short for now as it’s still a bit too raw…I want to say more but need to process my feelings more. Please keep Naomi and J3 in your prayers!
Today I’m cohosting (with my sister Beth) a baby shower for our sister-in-law Christy. Ironic, huh? Grieving and celebration….Lord, give me strength!
I am so sorry that this happened. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
praying here! it’s so hard!they truly are in a better place! but that’s so hard to understand while we are still here missing them so much!
praying for you and your friends!
